Republicans committed to saving SS & Medicare at the State of the Union speech.
We paid into SS & Medicare, they are NOT like Welfare and Medicaid.
They are NOT charity, they are benefits we paid for.
"Republicans" don't want to cut SS & Medicare, the 1% want to cut them.
I don't see democrats beating drums to fix them either.
Maybe the rich dems don't want them fixed?
I think the compromise is going to be 20% cuts to EVERYONE in order to "SAVE" the program SS when it runs out of money, wouldn't you know it? The year I turn 62.
I'm hoping I retire before they do it.
But imagine in 10 years the fund runs out of money and we're in a made up recession like the one they invented when Bush was walking out the door in 2008. It would be the perfect time to have another great recession. They would use it to say why they MUST cut everyone's ss 20%.
